With All This Happiness We Mingled

Posted on: 19/11/2018

In partnership with Kent Downs Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty in July we asked writer Marcus O'Dair to walk sections of the beautiful North Downs Way National Trail- and pop into rural pubs on route - a job we were all very envious of! His journey took him over 100 km and on the way he sought out and spoke to many local people. He has now created a performance sharing his reflections 'With all this happiness we mingled' –

““During the performances, I’ll be touching on everything from blisters to Brexit – and what it feels like to put your head inside a foghorn air receiver on a lightship moored in Gravesend. I will be joined by the composer Andrew Phillips, who will be feeding in both musical elements and recordings from the walk including voices and field recordings.”
